Case Discussion
This case shows three CC views of the right breast, same patient. The cases are each two years apart. The prepectoral fat is a review area on mammography. The small cancer appears on the second view but is overlooked at the time.
The third image shows the lesion against the chest wall, fortunately or unfortunately indicated by a digital arrow.
